Purposive sample: A type of sampling procedure in which units are selected deliberately rather than on a random probability process. For example, units (individuals, bars, stores, schools, etc.) might be selected purposively because they are believed to be able to provide the most information about the population based on knowledge, experience, or subjective judgment. In some purposive samples, the most extreme cases in a population are deliberately selected (e.g., the most successful and the least successful program sites) because they may yield the most insight on how programs can be improved. Purposive sampling is an alternate to random sampling and requires less cost and workload. We recommend that one should be very knowledgeable about the population before a purposive sample is used. Convenience sample: This type of sample uses individuals or units readily available instead of ones randomly selected from the entire population. It is a practical approach used to obtain participants when you have limited resources and little time. However, with a convenience sample, you give up control over the selection probabilities of the units in your sample, which will result in a biased measurement. Stratified sample: Stratification is the process of grouping members of the population into relatively homogeneous subgroups before sampling when sub-populations (stratum) vary considerably. The strata should be mutually exclusive; every element in the population must be assigned to only one stratum. The strata should also be collectively exhaustive, and no population element can be excluded. Then random sampling is applied within each stratum. 134 OTIS Evaluation Guide • March 2007
Resources A. Books Books pertaining to program evaluation topics may be available for loan through the Tobacco Education Clearinghouse of California (TECC). Evaluation Books Evaluation: A Systematic Approach (7th Edition) Rossi, Lipsey, & Freeman (2004) The most comprehensive book on evaluation. It provides a large number of real-world examples to address almost all aspects of program evaluation. It is easy to understanding and very practical. How to Design a Program Evaluation Fitz-Gibbon & Morris (1988) A book of a simple introduction of program evaluation. It also provides some simple and practical examples. Process Evaluation for Public Health Interventions and Research Steckler & Linnan (2002) The first comprehensive book to address the ever increasing needs for process evaluation. Study Design Books Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs for Generalized Causal Inference Shadish, Cook, & Campbell (2002) A comprehensive update of Campbell & Stanley (1966) and Cook & Campbell (1979). Probably the best current reference on research design. Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs for Research Campbell & Stanley (1966) The most important book on research design from a historical point of view. Although there have been many developments since 1966, this is still a quick read, clearly written, and extremely instructive. Quasi-Experimentation: Design and Analysis Issues Cook & Campbell (1979) An extended review and discussion of quasi-experimental design, which is the most popular and important tool for practitioners. It details a variety of quasi-experimental approaches suitable to real world research, together with statistical techniques applicable to each. Statistics Books Basic statistical procedures and concepts A First Course in Statistics, 9th Edition McClave, Sincich, & McClave (2005). A decent book for an introduction to statistics and has all the formulas for very basic statistical methods. OTIS Evaluation Guide • March 2007 135
